Abstract
The continuous rise of population and consumption demands of both basic and leisure electrical and electronic equipments within Dar es Salaam city led to increasing amount of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipments (WEEE). Recently WEEE has become the environmental and public health issue needing close attention in the city. Even with urgent actions needed, yet less has been done to study and establish the stakeholder’s collaboration pattern in the sector. This study applied the stakeholder’s analysis (SA) and social networking analysis (SNA) techniques in studying the effectiveness of the stakeholders involved in the sector. All stakeholders involved in the management of WEEE were identified and assessed using literature review, brainstorming and stakeholders’ interviews. The identification and analysis were performed with the help of Master Mind software, Microsoft word and excel version 2019, coupled with XLSTAT plug in for data analysis. The results revealed that the Vice President’s office, Division of Environment (VPO-DOE) and the National Environment Management Council (NEMC) are the vital player/stakeholder in the management of WEEE within the city, as they have both high power, interest and knowhow on the system. While on the other hand the WEEE dealers (Recyclers, Electrical and Electronics Equipment (EEE) technicians and scavengers) were found to be the key stakeholders that physical perform the recycling of the WEEE. These dealers have high interest and technical knowledge on the sector but have low power hence have low influence in the dynamics of their businesses. It was found out that the stakeholders with both, high power, interest and knowledge had positive attitude towards WEEE sector while those with low levels had negative attitude. Lastly it was concluded that, efficiently promotion and adoption of stakeholder’s collaboration whereby all stakeholders are engaged is a vital move required for sustainable management of generated WEEE in Dar es Salaam city.
